Beautiful weather - perfect for being out in the pool swimming - yet we have a thunderstorm warning so it's shut.

A little over cautious I reckon....

Average by Intention.

Eh? Having been outdoors from 8:15 to 17:00 on HK then over to Lantau for a bit of a stroll (with views for 30+km in all directions for a change) and then back, I can honestly say that there nothing looking anything like a thunderstorm anywhere around.

(Except the look on the missus's face when I suggested we might like to stroll up Sunset Peak for an encore)

Perhaps the Observatory has its own Storm Warning Dog like mine ~ she's a better forecaster than they are; can sense a storm in the offing as far as 24 hours in advance.

We can sense that she is sensing it by the telltale signs of massive drooling, wild staring eyes and literally shaking with terror (the dog, not us).


Honey, not sensing a storm

And that's different from the symptoms of rabies how?

It's been five years and she's not dead yet, so I'd put it down to storm terror rather than rabies, but hey, what do I know, eh.

So Honey is about as accurate as Freddie then.

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than open ones mouth and remove all doubt.

Did she used to do this before she met Mr Benn, or just since

I'm confused, who are you asking about.. Lola or Honey?

Let's barbecue Honey with jerk sauce and have it for supper.

Do you kiss your mother with that mouth, bro?? Honey was spot on ~ Storm Warning symptoms in full flow on Sat, and then bucketed all day Sunday.
